Pot gummies a priority for cannabis edibles producers

Chewy, colourful cannabis-infused gummies in bright colours and in the shape of animals or creatures are among the best-selling edible pot products on the black market -- but Canadians shouldn't expect them on legal shelves.

Regulations that will make edibles legal come into force Oct. 17, exactly a year after Canada legalized the sale and purchase of dried and fresh cannabis, oil, seeds and plants. The rules laid out so far are aimed at keeping the new pot products out of the hands of kids and stipulate they can't be seen as "appealing to young persons" -- but Health Canada has yet to provide additional details on exactly what crosses the line.

Is Aurora Cannabis a buy?

There are as many reasons to be bullish on cannabis stocks as there are reasons to be bearish. With the full legalization of the Canadian market in October of last year, cannabis seems poised to go much more mainstream in the years ahead. The highest industry estimate from a mainstream Wall Street firm is Stifel's recent $200 billion estimate for global legal cannabis sales by 2030. That would be up roughly 13 times from the $15 billion estimated global sales for 2019!

Should you buy Canopy Growth (TSX:WEED)?

In case you haven’t noticed, Canada’s enviable cannabis sector has been busting more than booming lately. In the months and weeks counting down to legalization, cannabis stocks such as Canopy Growth(TSX:WEED)(NYSE:CGC) shot well into the stratosphere. Unfortunately, after a rally in the early part of the year, pot stocks have taken a turn and dropped sharply. In the case of Canopy, the stock is down 44% in the past six-month period, trading right near its 52-week low.

Let’s take at why the cannabis sector is lagging, and if Canopy is still the incredible investment that it was once was.

Will Hexo stock be around for the long haul?

When it comes to Canadian cannabis companies, Hexo(NYSE:HEXO) doesn’t always get the recognition it deserves. Hexo stock is often seen as the little brother to bigger players like Aurora Cannabis (NYSE:ACB) and Canopy Growth(NYSE:CGC). 

But if you’re looking to get in at the ground floor with a growing cannabis company, HEXO isn’t a bad option. The company’s sales have grown by massive amounts over the last 12 months. And the company predicted its revenue will double over the next quarter.

Why Aurora Cannabis may have made a big mistake by not partnering with a beverage company

Cannabis-infused beverages could soon be a big hit. Being able to drink a beverage, get a buzz, and not be hungover the next day could prove to be an easy sell to people who consume alcohol. While the segment hasn't taken off in the U.S. where beverages still represent a very small fraction of cannabis sales, that might not be the case for much longer.

When will the big Canadian cannabis producers become profitable?

You'll hear most of the big Canadian cannabis producers talk a lot about revenue growth. However, it's a different story when it comes to profits. In most cases, any reported profit for one of the five biggest Canadian producers will come with an asterisk: a paper profit fueled by a one-time gain rather than true operating profitability.
